| Re: 302 failure - any opinions???
Julian, does the sound you are hearing have two distinct, focused "knocks" per crankshaft revolution? The bearing backing material shown in the photo, along with the general heat coloring of the carnage looks like a rod bearing to me...I'd strongly suspect #s 1 and 5 in a wet-sump Ford with an unmodified oiling system. Do either one of those cylinders happen to be the 12% leaker? |
